Watercolor illustration of a terracotta dog figurine from Boeotia, Greece dating back to around 500 BCE. A simple figurine and yet it evokes all the character of a very happy dog that has found a prized piece of meat. #watercolorpainting #archaeology #history #artifact #dogart #dog #hound #ancient

Finished painting William the Hippopotamus, a cute little artifact at the Met. He’s about 3,900 years old, made of Egyptian faience, and adorned with lotus blossoms. #watercolor #ancienthistory #archaeologyart
